Project Objectives, Summary Description and Anticipated Results

The objective of the HEALTHPLANS concerted action is that of establishing a Forum that will put together key national Healthcare Authorities and decision makers, that are already users or are interested in healthcare telematics, to share requirements, information, experiences and plans for the establishment of healthcare telematics services. By reaching consensus on common requirements and methodology, the proposed concerted action will support the Telematics Programme in monitoring the progress and buiding on the results of the pilot experiments. It will also help raise the attention of influential national decision makers on the potential of healthcare telematics and will catalyze strategic actions to develop national and regional plans for implementation. Three streams of action will feed the forum with synthesis information, that will respectively

analyse the participation of public healthcare authorities, industry and users organisations in the national and international R&D programmes (with special focus on the EC Healthcare Telematics Programme) and establish a directory of interested participants and contact persons and synthetise the results of the significant pilot experiments ( EU or national funded)

Other Characteristics of the Project:

Users involved
In the Forum National, Regional and Local Healthcare Authorities will participate together with representatives of the Industrial sector (both large IT&T companies and SME’s) and of End-users Organisations (healthcare professionals, patients and citizens).

Technologies and/or approach used
